Here's a section from ea.com support on firewalls and Battlefield 1942 connectivity:

You need to enable port 14567 on your router, and DMZ hosting.

Allow UDP Port 14567
Allow UDP Port 14690
Allow UDP 22000 (This is only for LAN games, and used by computers on the same network)
Allow UDP range 23000-23009
# GameSpy Master Server UDP Heartbeat:
Allow UDP Port 27900
# GameSpy Master Server List Request:
Allow TCP Port 28900

If you don't want to do that, then yes, turn it off. Although, if you enable DMZ, you won't need to disable it, just remember to turn off DMZ after you finish playing.

If you need to understand what a DMZ is go here:
